ORCHARDS OF ALL SIZES

Happy Bear installs orchards of all sizes in any number of contexts--residential yards, public parks, school courtyards, & rooftops. An orchard can be as small as one or two trees or as big as twenty to fifty trees. It all depends on pollination requirements of the trees, available space in the landscape and, of course, the client's vision!

​

After an initial consideration of regional climate and the full list of trees that can thrive in your biogeographic range, HB will do a site analysis of your property that includes:

• sunlight availability 

• hydrology--movement of water across the landscape 

• soil type 

• microclimates 

• deer/pest pressure

​

Through this process we are able to provide our clients with a schematic for all that's possible on their land and then decide on a plan.

 

**We will always emphasize the importance of native and "no-fuss" species of fruit & nut trees that do not require hyperactive management and spraying throughout their development. 

​

**That being said, we are willing to meet clients where they're at and empower them with information and/or a management plan to care for their more high-maintenance plantings.
